Aryan Khandelwal

Software Engineer @ Akto.io

Backend Systems • Distributed Systems • AI/LLM Applications

Backend-focused engineer with 3 years of experience building scalable backend systems, internal platforms, and AI-powered product features in a startup environment.
I enjoy building systems at the intersection of product, scale, reliability, and intelligent workflows.

Impact at Akto

  • Built a Kafka-based distributed execution engine that improved throughput by up to 100x, with fault-tolerant recovery and horizontal scalability.
  • Improved dashboard performance and stability, achieving 20x faster load times.
  • Built an AI red-teaming orchestrator for adversarial testing of APIs and AI systems, supporting customer-facing security workflows and enterprise evaluations.
  • Designed and implemented a fine-grained RBAC and access management system across products, including dynamic roles and scoped permissions.
  • Built backend systems for AI traffic monitoring, policy guardrails, API dependency graph construction, and MCP-integrated AI querying.

What I Work On

Backend & Platform Engineering

Designing backend services and internal platforms with a focus on performance, correctness, and maintainability.
I enjoy working on APIs, authorization, async workflows, data-heavy systems, and production hardening.

Distributed Systems & Scalability

Interested in systems that need to behave well under load — queues, caching, retries, concurrency, consistency, partitioning, and fault tolerance.
I especially like problems around execution engines, auth systems, and event-driven workflows.

AI / LLM Systems

Building AI-powered workflows using LangChain, LangGraph, MCP servers, retrieval pipelines, and orchestration layers.
I’m particularly interested in making LLM systems reliable, observable, and useful in production.


Work Highlights

API Dependency Graph & Replay Engine

Built a system that ingests OpenAPI / Swagger specs to construct dependency graphs and enable dependency-aware API replay, including AI-assisted reasoning for inferring missing relationships between APIs.

RBAC & Access Management

Designed and implemented a scalable Role-Based Access Control system with fine-grained permissions across products, including dynamic role handling and enforcement layers across services.

AI Red-Teaming Orchestrator

Developed an orchestrator for simulating adversarial attacks on APIs and AI systems, generating actionable reports and remediation workflows for customer-facing security use cases.

Endpoint Shield / AI Guardrails

Worked on real-time monitoring and policy enforcement for AI traffic and agent workflows, including synchronous compliance APIs and security-oriented guardrails.

AI Chatbot + MCP Integration

Designed backend architecture for an AI chatbot integrated with MCP-based system querying and internal product workflows.
